SOUTH PLAINFIELD — Spirit is an 11-month-old Labrador-hound mix in the care of Happy Paws Rescue. Happy Paws volunteers say she is always excited to meet people and eager to play with other dogs. Spirit would do well with an active family, and is ready to move in, as she uses a crate or dog bed, is spayed, microchipped, housebroken and up-to-date on shots.

Those interested in adopting Spirit should complete an application form at happypawsrescue.org or leave a voice message at (732) 597-4524. Happy Paws is an all-volunteer group based in South Plainfield.

Shelters interested in placing a pet in the Paw Print adoption column or submitting news should call (973) 392-5950 or e-mail middlesex@starledger.com.
